The militia guy's face was still twisted in utter terror.

"S-stay away, demon!!

" He screamed yet again.

"Brother, you already said that. Anyway, let me explain….

" Jack sighed.

It was storytime!

He told the tale of a brilliant, valiant, and obviously handsome young man who had the task to infiltrate the forces of evil. His goal was to steal their secret plans!

Jack called himself a dashing spy: codename 006! As for whether he was convincing enough….

"I see! That's why you summoned a worthless chicken. It all makes sense now!

" The militia guy sighed in relief.

Another one looking down on Necrocluckmancy?! Blasphemy! He inwardly swore that one day he'd show them all! But for now, it was time to go home.

Just as he was about to step outside, he suddenly realized that many players were still camping him.

Some hid behind walls, some his behind potted plants, and there was one confused guy wonderfully stargazing on a cloudy night.

"Sir, I think they're here for you! Wait, could they be with the forces of evil?!

" He had a paranoiac look on his face.

"Ah! Maybe!!

" Jack chuckled, seeing him panic.

"We have to warn the militia and—

"

"Fool! Why do you think I had to come here undercover?!

" Jack protested.

"Don't worry, just follow my lead.

" He whispered.

Step 1: Step into The Weary Traveler!

Step 2: Hide amongst the NPCs there!

Step 3: Buy rags to use as clothes from the innkeeper.

Step 4: GTFO, each going their separate ways.

Oh, a few players still managed to follow, but he quickly left them in the dust! He was as slippery as a broke bloke avoiding to pay child support!

As he was fleeing, he actually heard the term

"Demon King

". It seemed like the factions would soon know of him. Then again, it didn't matter: he wouldn't hide!

As he reached the farm, he could smell the stench of foul blood and hear cute angry shouts. He summoned Chicky, and it instantly charged inside, helping the defenders.

Moon Moon was raining fire on its victim at times and swinging its claws at others. It was diligently fighting to protect its master's woman!

Pumpkin Girl was hoeing, as usual, this time driving the wood straight into the creatures' skull! After every strike, her

"weapon

" would splinter, but her magic made it grow anew as if alive!

"Still daring to attack my pumpkins?! Get lost!

" Jack thundered heroically. What followed was mayhem, with fire thrown all over the place.

Oh, but that wasn't all. Jack focused on his new ring, sensing the energy inside, driving it to follow his wishes.

It felt as if sticky tar, impossible to move. But as he used some demonic energy, it started flowing smoothly.

Jack gathered this new energy in his palm and then struck one of the mutant rats. As he felt the dark energy devour the monster's insides, he couldn't help but feel proud!

One-shot kill!

He madly chuckled as he touched more and more enemies, faster than a horny teenager would touch himself! This was so freaking fun!

— Touch! Touch! Touch! Touch! —

The ability would barely cause any damage initially, but then it would corrupt the target with demonic energy! This was pretty much an attack that ignored all defense! OP!!!

But just as he was celebrating his new achievements, Pumpkin Girl pointed toward his back while shaking.

"Careful!!!

" She shouted, panicked.

Jack quickly turned back and couldn't help but stare with his mouth open. What the hell?! Since when was ghoulish touch so freaking OP?!

The bodies of the dead rats were now twisting, creaking madly as they did. Finally, the many corpses rose, shrieking loudly!

— Shriek!! Shriek!!! —

"Woo?!

" (Confused!)

What was this thing? Wasn't it dead? Was it possible to fight while dead?! Why was it always being sent to that one realm then?! It didn't make sense!

"Z-zombies?!!!

" Pumpkin Girl screamed!

"Not exactly, but it's similar enough.

" Jack frowned. This thing was a macabre. It was very similar to a zombie, but it wasn't as strong as one.

< Macabre Mutated Acidic Rat Being Lv 10 🧟>

Macabres were formed by Demonic Energy overflow. It was a raw power that was never controlled. That's when the creature ruthlessly jumped at its creator!!

"Tch— Dumb thing!

" Jack shouted as he sliced it in two with his Cluckinator. The Cluck resounding as he swung sure was silly, yet it was enough to startle Pumpkin Girl.

"W-what was that?!!

" She screamed, only to realize that Jack was the cause. That's when she went from wariness to admiration, her eyes beaming.

Every cluck from him was accompanied by a cheer from her and a howl from Moon Moon. Jack had the goddamn best cheer squad ever!

Congratulations!

Unlocked: Macabre Ghoulish Touch!

Increased Chance of Turning Enemies in Macabre

Still, he couldn't help but gaze at his hands in shock. Creating Macabres at level 15, was he awesome, or was he awesome?!

But that's when something strange happened. He had only killed a few macabre rats that they suddenly scurried away.

They were leaving? Just like that? Why?! Macabres shouldn't have any sense of self or couldn't feel fear! Then why?!

They killed a few more, but then they were so spread out that it was a huge pain to chase them.

"Ah! I think they're going toward the town!!!

" Pumpkin Girl suddenly shouted.

"Seems like it.

" Jack and pet stood still as they watched them all leave.

"Aren't we going to do anything?!

" She reiterated.

"You mean the town that didn't even bother to help you when you were in trouble? Yeah, screw them.

" Jack shrugged, with Moon Moon nodding.

That's at this moment that she finally realized that perhaps this was the goddamn reason why he was called the Demon King! He really freaking did as he pleased!

Zombie Apocalypse? Please!

Macabres were pretty weak and couldn't do that much damage.

Jack was already thinking of his new plan. As for the town, perhaps they were better off avoiding it for a little while. It was time to head toward the outer wild regions!

Meanwhile, the entire town was about to lose their minds a distance away. How the hell could this have happened?! Zombies?!!
